Description
Bryan Martin's Estate vineyard in Murrumbateman has Sangiovese vines planted that go back 20 years. He has been refining his approach to this wine for many years now and has seemed to find a more traditional method of production as the best course of action.
This is his home-grown fruit sent to huge 2800L foudre for 22 months ageing. As Bryan explains, "A timeless method for this variety that allows it to progress slowly without gathering layers of oak."
The proof is in the pudding and it is clear that this is one of the more impressive Sangioveses in the country. Firm and gravelly with beautiful Autumnal aromatics, this is Sangiovese with a refined Australian accent.
94 Points
"A live wire from 2022. Much more about vivacious personality than the more firm and savoury and stately expressions of past vintages – and nothing wrong with that! ... It’s delicious, refreshing, vibrant as an expression. It does a lighter shade of sangio so well."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)
